5. Fire-fighting measures Specific Methods Use measures suitable for extinguishing surrounding fire. Specific hazards Material does not burn. arising from the chemical Precautions in Use suitable protective equipment for surrounding fire. connection with Fire 6. Accidental release measures Personal Avoid substance contact. Avoid generation of dusts: do not inhale dusts. Ensure supply of fresh air in Precautions enclosed rooms. Personal Protection Wear protective clothing specified for normal operations (see Section 8) Clean-up Methods - Sweep up (avoid generating dust) and remove to a suitable, clearly labelled container for disposal in Small Spillages accordance with local regulations. 7. Handling and storage Precautions for Safe Avoid contact with skin, eyes and clothing. Avoid inhalation and ingestion. Handling Conditions for safe Store in well ventilated area. Store in a cool,dry place. Keep containers closed at all times. storage, including any incompatabilities Corrosiveness When heated above 200 °C, this material will combine with moisture to form sulfuric acid. Sulfuric acid is corrosive to many metals. Additional Do not eat, drink or smoke in work areas. Wash hands thoroughly after handling this material. information on precautions for use 8. Exposure controls/personal protection Occupational Name STEL TWA exposure limit values mg/m3 ppm mg/m3 ppm Footnote Aluminium potassium sulfate - - 2 - Aluminiu m, soluble salts (as Al) Other Exposure A time weighted average (TWA) has been established for Aluminium, soluble salts (as Al) (Safe Work Information Australia) of 2 mg/m3. The exposure value at the TWA is the average airborne concentration of a particular substance when calculated over a normal 8 hour working day for a 5 day working week. Appropriate In industrial situations maintain the concentrations values below the TWA. This may be achieved by engineering controls process modification, use of local exhaust ventilation, capturing substances at the source, or other methods. These methods should be used in preference to personal protective equipment. Respiratory Where ventilation is not adequate, respiratory protection may be required. Avoid breathing dust, vapours Protection or mists. Respiratory protection should comply with AS 1716 - Respiratory Protective Devices and be selected in accordance with AS 1715 - Selection, Use and Maintenance of Respiratory Protective Devices. Filter capacity and respirator type depends on exposure levels. In event of emergency or planned entry into unknown concentrations a positive pressure, full-facepiece SCBA should be used. If respiratory protection is required, institute a complete respiratory protection program including selection, fit testing, training, maintenance and inspection. Eye Protection The use of a face shield, chemical goggles or safety glasses with side shield protection as appropriate. Must comply with Australian Standards AS 1337 and be selected and used in accordance with AS 1336. Hand Protection Hand protection should comply with AS 2161, Occupational protective gloves - Selection, use and maintenance. Personal Protective Personal protective equipment should not solely be relied upon to control risk and should only be used Equipment when all other reasonably practicable control measures do not eliminate or sufficiently minimise risk . Guidance in selecting personal protective equipment can be obtained from Australian, Australian/New Zealand or other approved standards.
